If they were still hoping for that at this point, then this won't change their minds.
Also, perhaps wait for the rest of the specs to come out before being dissapointed or talking affordability. Clock speeds alone ain't gonna give you that info...
We've got a wee bit more than clockspeeds to assume the system won't be remotely cutting edge in performance. Wouldn't mind being wrong though.
But yeah, affordability....gotta consider that Nintendo tax too. Hopefully it's not too expensive. I think for Nintendo's sake an entry level price is wise.
Again. Publishers will go where the money is. They always do. Or are people forgetting about all the dumbed down versions of popular ips on the wii/ds? Remember call of duty on ds?
Yes, dumbed down variants of popular AAA titles, mainline titles that rarely if ever were represented on said systems. We may get the same, along with the odd ports here and there, but my argument is simply that people hungry for these mainline AAA games need to suck it up and accept that for at least the third generation in a row this is not happening* on Nintendo platforms. And that's okay because that's not their focus.
*pending my conclusion jumping being inaccurate
This is where I'm at. I wouldn't have bought Dark Souls or Mass Effect on this thing regardless. However if this is true it makes $249 kind of a tough sell for me. $199 I'm in and it'll probably sell very well at that price. But $249 seems more likely. Could sit out the launch if that's the case.
Yeah pretty much. I don't game on console anyway unless I absolutely have to, but Nintendo hardware has long sit nicely alongside my PC. Honestly I have more issue with stuff like the PS4 due to how common multi platform games are these days and thus the increasing redundancy of Microsoft and Sony's offerings in face of my PC. At least with Nintendo I'm guaranteed a bunch of games I can't find elsewhere.
I'm just hoping for something more akin to the Wii over the Wii U, in terms of quantity of experimental, B-game stuff from both Nintendo and third parties. The Wii U really lacked a large, obscure library that the Wii had. And that was something I adored about the latter.
